"He continued to view information he wasn’t allowed to see on his home computer, and repeatedly e-mailed confidential information to his personal Gmail account, including research on trading in China and a new method to improve models, the hedge fund claimed."
Wait, what? Did they wiretap him at home?
- o_nate 12y agoMost likely he was logged in remotely to work from home and they monitored his activity. They make it sound nefarious, but it sounds pretty much like a standard day working from home, except that he looked at some code he wasn't directly working on out of curiosity. I think that bringing criminal charges in a case of a minor violation of the employee handbook, as this appears to be, is ludicrous. But I guess it's supposed to send a message to all the tech geeks on Wall Street - don't get too uppity, and think twice about leaving for a better job if you might have ever violated the employee handbook.
